Chicago alderwoman arrested by ICE agents while checking on detainee at hospital in Humboldt Park A Chicago alderwoman was arrested by ICE agents on Friday afternoon inside a hospital in the Humboldt Park neighborhood.

If a high-ranking elected official can be detained in broad daylight, no one is immune from this regime’s authoritarian overreach.

Let’s stand together against the abuses of power, cruelty, and corruption — and remind Trump and his enablers that there are NO KINGS: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

An encouraging report on our fine Democratic candidate Jess Anderson in HD 71.

Our government is sliding backwards into a quasi Jim Crow era.

Of course, that’s what the phrase “MAGA” means: Let’s slide backwards into a more primitive, meaner era.

**Action for Albemarle Residents** Turning Point USA (a "hard right extremist group" per the SPLC) has invited an explicitly anti-trans presentation to be given to the kids at WAHS.
